[The D’Alliance] “Got Milk?” Satirizes Pro-Athlete Witch Hunt
See it for yourself.
I appreciated the fact that a statement forwarding milk as a "performance enhancing substance" was accompanied by the characteristic small type at the bottom of the screen, noting the source as the California Milk Processor Board -- a font of medical knowledge to be sure. The fine print also states: "muscle claim requires exercise program."
No mention was made of potential side effects, however.

San Francisco Seeks Patient Protection in State Medical Marijuana ID Program The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday urging the city to delay its implementation of the statewide medical marijuana ID card program. Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi introduced the resolution in response to vocal concerns around confidentiality from medical marijuana activists.
Implementing the statewide program would mean the end of the local ID card program San Francisco has run for several years. Stakeholders are gravely troubled by the failure of the statewide program to protect the anonymity of patients, caregivers and physicians. The Statewide regulations require the San Francisco Department of Public Health to maintain paper records of applications and medical documentation; currently the local program returns all documentation once the application is verified. The mandate to maintain records imposes an unacceptable risk of subpoena or seizure by federal officials.
San Francisco was slated to join the statewide program in early November; however, following the Board’s resolution the Department of Public Health delayed implementation until January. Delaying implementation provides medical marijuana advocates time to petition the state to modify the protocols of its program to better protect patients and caregivers.
The Drug Policy Alliance played a critical role in this important local victory through working with officials at the San Francisco Department of Public Health to organize a community forum informing the public of the confidentiality issues at stake in the implementation of the statewide program. The Alliance helped recruit local stakeholders to attend the forum and followed up with a letter to the Board of Supervisors summarizing the disturbing flaws with the State ID program and urging the Board to take action to protect and promote physician, patient and caregiver rights. In response to the community forum and Alliance's communications, the Board unanimously passed a resolution directing the county health department to refrain from implementing the State ID program pending further hearings. The Alliance is now using this momentum to create a coalition of counties and advocacy organizations, including the ACLU Drug Law Reform Project, to pressure on State officials to modify their ID program rules and procedures.

web gets ravers busted. Police track down rave six on web
Six men were fined between £100 and £500 each
North Wales Police said they used the internet to help track down six men who organised an illegal rave, where a policeman was injured. At a special court in Pwllheli on Monday, the six admitted charges relating to organising a music event without a licence.
Hundreds turned up at Whistling Sands beach on the Lleyn Peninsula during the 2004 August bank holiday weekend.
A policeman lost his eye after being hit by a stone thrown from the crowd.
North Wales Police detectives became involved in the investigation because a police officer had been seriously injured.
Police helicopter
It proved impossible for them to track down the individual who had thrown the stone which hit the policeman, but their investigations led to the prosecution of six men who helped arrange the event.
Anyone who comes to rural Wales to do this kind of thing will be dealt with harshly
Dc Maldwyn Roberts
"The police knew about internet sites which are used by the ravers," said Detective Constable Maldwyn Roberts, one of a team of investigating officers.
"We used pictures they had posted on one of the sites after the event, video footage from the police helicopter, and evidence we had collected when we stopped people as they left the site to bring a prosecution," Dc Roberts added.
The police say the successful court case - using legislation which has been little used by North Wales Police in the past - gives out a clear message.
"Anyone who comes to rural Wales to do this kind of thing will be dealt with harshly," said Dc Roberts.
Raves are billed as 'free parties' and are held - often illegally, on private land - all over the country.
The six who pleaded guilty to organising a rave to which licence was not in force were from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
They were all fined between £100 and £500 and ordered to pay £500 compensation to the National Trust which own the land at Whistling Sands.
